How do you like that? Joe Biden has nominated Sen. Joe Manchin's wife for a cushy new position and we're sure his intentions are totally pure

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin is no Republican, but he’s definitely been a thorn in Democrats’ side, particularly now with the balance of power tipped only slightly in Democrats’ direction.

And that raises a question: How do you solve a problem like Joe Manchin?

Maybe this is the answer:

We’re sure it’s just a coincidence and that there’s absolutely nothing to see here.

I wonder why?

Hmmm. Sounds like Biden may have made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.

But quid pro quos are Donald Trump’s thing! Democrats would never do something like that!

The #Democrats need to roll two people to end the filibuster and commence with one-party tyranny, Manchin is one of them. If we had a real media, the spousal sponsorship happening on the left would be a scandal. https://t.co/yVNyWLr1uE
